Este es una fiesta de los tres Reyes Magos, y en todo de Mexico hacen una fiesta en que toda la gente cortan un pedazo de rosca de pan que tiene frutas, azucar, y entre el pan hay cuatro o cinco o mas monitos. Si la persona encuentra un monito cortando el pedazo de rosca, la persona necesita hacer tamales en el 2 de febrero, dia de la Candelaria. Yo encontre a dos monitos--voy a hacer tamales en Guatemala y mandar a Cd Mante, Tamaulipas, y voy hacer tambien tamales para una familia en Guatemala para el otro monito. Son gemelos. La foto tiene personas de la fiesta, y algunas son de la familia con quien voy a dormir.
In the fiesta of the three wise men, everyone cuts a piece of sweet bread with little plastic babies distributed throughout--four or five per loaf. If a person finds a plastic baby, representing the baby Jesus, they have to throw a party and make tamales for everyone on the second of February, a holy day of Guadaloupe. I encountered two "monitos" in my slice of bread--twin baby Jesus's! I will be in Guatemala on the second of February so I will make tamales and send them, and for the other monito, I will make tamales for a family in Guatemala. The people in the photo are people at the party, and some of who are in the family I will spend the night with.

Hey PJ,
Happy New Year! and Happy Epiphany Sunday. Great pics--Andrew loved the little grandparents that you stayed with in Victoria, they look so cute!
How did you spend new year's eve? We were kayaking and camping in little tybee island off the coast of s. georgia near Savannah and I wanted to call you because I thought you might be doing the same thing.
Andrew and I are up to our ears in wedding planning. I really hope you can make it back in time but your adventures are once in a lifetime too!
Much love,
Sarah and Andrew
